Types of Mexican Beauty.

As is the case with the sex in all trop-
ical countries, Mexican womanhood comes
early. AS the age of 12 the senorita
is very knowing. At IA she is mature.
At 10 she is ready to take up the duties of
married life. At 20 she begins to be too
plump. At % she feels the need OF art to
assist nature. At 30 she has ceased to be
interesting for her beauty. Too much
flesh, with consequent coarseness, is the
usual trouble. An anti-fat remedy ought
to have a great run in the land of the
cactus.
Maya, of the Portal do Mercaderes, Is
the leading photographer of tho City Of
Mexico, He has an artistic eye as well as
mechanical skill, and he is an obliging
fellow When it was explained to him
that small collection of types Of Mexican
beauty was desired, he smiled and said
he would have to think about it. "Call

week of to-morrows went by before Maya
said "All right But then he coupled
his acquiescence with o condition-''no

Amid Unnatural Excitement.

Evidence accumulated, demonstrates
beyond cavil or doubt, that unnatural ex-
element, whether it be fear, anger, jeal-
ousy, or anything else, ruins mind and
body with q poison, for which there is no
absolute antidote 1t brings ruin to the
body more than any other cause. and ruin
to the nerves and brain more than every
other cause combined. The point / make,
and wish to be remembered, is that un-
natural excitement is the human soulis
greatest foe. 1t takes the blood out of
the body, the life out of the blood, and the
Joy out Of the life. 1t withers the young
form of symmetry and beauty into the
bending, shapeless form of premature
age. 1t plows its burrows and insidiously
and deeply works its wrinkles upon the
face and brow of LEES youth and prime,
where naught but smiles should live and
reign. II invades the temple of strength
and paralyzes her fair garden called the
brain. 1t dries up her streams from the
greater to the lesser nerves. 1t cuts the
sinews Of her strength sud changes the
body temple into pest house of disease,
and closes the drama Of life's great mis-
take as it wraps the unhappy wreck in
deaths charitable mantle of darkness and
silence
Fight down every phase OF unnatural
excitement, control yourself in all things.
Danish from your nature jealousy and
hate, subdue your angec and every form
of unnatural excitement, cultivate "
sweet disposition, cheerful nature, and
spirit of love and faith Your life will
be one Of joy, sickness will not trouble
you, sorrow seldom visit your home, your
life will be one of peace and joy, and your
peace and joy will be the peace and joy
of Others Youth will stay with you
through your prime, follow you far into
the harbor of old age. close in death your
lips with smile, and linger in memory
over your grave.--American Spectator.

Trick Of Now York Dressmalsers.

Dressmaking in its higher branches Is q
business that calls for talent and can
easily employ genius. 1t has fortunes in
1t, and fortunes oat Of it. American
women IRE the best dressed and the most
exacting in matters of dress in the world.
They do not grudge good price to those
who prepare their triumphs for them.
The great dressers of New York society
are imagined to run over TO Europe once
or twice year to procure some of the
wonderful creations of Worth or his rival,
Pingat, to wander from Felix to Mangus
Baronne and TO inspect the latest thing
ont at Nine Laferrierrcs'
The truth is, however, that the hand
soonest dresses In the world are made IN
this country. Some gowns which their
wearers suppose to have been imported
are In better taste than II they really had
crossed the ocean.
A lady whose gowns are one OF the stock
attractions at the box show of the Metro
politan Opera house ON opening nights
stepped into the show rooms of well
known modiste and importer of Paris
robes no long time since. She wanted
some CONNECTION In the line of recep-
ton dress, from Worth If possible. Mad

New Way Co Mend Ribs.

A young woman physician who pratices
In Englewood tells of queer case in sur
gerry which she heard OF few weeks ago,
or rather q case of most unusual surgical
treatment for n common injury. A young
man had suffered fall from the cars,
and ON examination it was found that two
of his ribs had been broken. The doctor
who was called to the case---a man doctor,
by the way--told the patients mother to
make big bowl of mush and milk, and
to coax the wounded man TO eat as much
of it rs he could possibly hold. This was
done, and then the doctor told the Won
dering mother to bring him one Of her old
corsets, the largest one she had. The
good woman blushinely obeyed, and stood
by with bullying eyes and watched the
doctor put the corset ON his patient and
draw the strings comfortably tight.

Difficulty of Computing Compound Duties.
Driven Mad by Figures.
There is one department in the custom
house for which there are not many as
pirants, though the pay Is good. 1t is the
liquidating department. The work Is
hard and puzzling, and 1t requires n man
Of peculiar temperament to make his way
in It, The liquidating Office is sle place
where the final calculation of the duties
to be paid on imported goods is made.
When the goods are first entered rough
estimate of the duties as per invoice Is
made and the duties are deposited. Then,
after the work of the surveyors Office is
completed and the appraiser has examined
the goods and placed on the invoices their
classification and rate of duty, the work
Of the liquidating Office begins.
One OF the liquidating clerks, In speak
ing to reporter about the work Of the
office, said:

Washington society has far higher
tone than people not acquainted with it
suppose, and its ladies have other duties
than those performed before the looking
glass. They have To keep up with the
times both In politics and literature, and
it would be objectionable for u noted
woman in Washington society not to know
what Is going on in congress and about
the White House. The most noted char
acters in the country meet here every
winter, and it requires wide information
of public men and public matters to pre-
vent ones making fool Of himself by
pretending TO know that which he does
not. The knowledge of the French IL
more common than it has ever been be-
fore, and French phrases are uttered in
many conversations. The diplomats prefer
to talk French rather than English, and

writing up an Interview.

A widely known congressman was
called upon by reporter whose paper
wanted TO know what, In the congress-
mans opinion, would and should be the
effect Of IN incident that had just occurred
at Washington and had greatly excited
the congressman's constituency.

opened, slightly, the door Of his private
office; "but look here, you are good
man and you know me pretty well. Sup
pose you go to the office and write up q
spicy interview and show me the proof.

The reporter did so, the congressman
changed not more than half dozen lines
in the proof, and the interview when
published was quoted far and wide as the
valuable opinion of man especially quail
fed to speak upon the subject. Not only
did Mr.. --- pay high compliment to
the reporter for his implied familiarity
with current political events and good
Judgment, but he showed that whatever
the reporter wrote--which, OF course, was
subject TO correction--it would be put in
such form that it would be interesting
to its readers.-W. r. Brigham in The

rhe Alwass unnerx corean.

A Corean Is always ready to eat; he Mt
tacks whatever he meets with, and rarely
says enough Even between meals he
will help himself to any edible that is
offered. The ordinary portion Of a laborer
is about quart Of rice, which, when
cooked, makes q good bulk. This, how
ever, 10 no serious hindrance to his devour
ing double or treble the quantity when he
can get 1t.
Eating matches are common. When
an OK is slaughtered and the beef is served
up, heaping bowl of the steaming mess
does not alarm any guest. Dog meat is a
common article Of food, and the canine
sirloins, served up in great trenchers, are
laid before the guests, each one having
his own small table to himself. When
fruits, such as peaches and small melons,
are served, they are devoured without
peeling. Twenty or thirty peaches is con-
sidered an ordinary allowance, which rap
idly disappears.
Such prodigality in victuals is, how
ever, not common, and for one feast there
are many HASTINGS. The Coreans are
neither fastidious in their eating, nor
painstaldng in their cooking Nothing
goes to waste All Is grist that comes to
the mill in their mouths. Youths Com

Rad Health versus Good.

The fact is, the advantages of poor
health have never been rated at half their
worth. What deluge of books has been
poured out to show people how to get and
keep health, and never one to teach
them how to lose it. Take, for example,
the case of q physical giant like Daniel
Webster. his prodigious health was
simply the ruin of him. Such enormous
dinners he could eat, deluged with such
oceans Of vino and brandy, and such an
immense amount Of outdoor cunning and
fishing did he have to resort to to digest
these that three-fourths of the time his
powerful brain was MS torpid as that o. Il
gorged anaconda.
Ali had Webster only been lifelong
invalid, like Alexander II. Stephens, of
Georgia, what an intellectual prodigy
America would have seen. lowered with
only digestion enough to keep half alive
on, and only lungs and muscle enough
for moderate, contemplative walks, the
Massachusetts deity would then have been
driven for refuge to the habitual exercise
of his vast intellectual and imaginative
powers, and SO have produced some noble
work that would have enriched the world.
Let him, therefore, serve as signal
warning TO all big, hullxlng fellows, turn
ing up their noses at invalids, and thank
ing their stars that they are good any day

Passive beauty Of Peasant women.

One secs many very beautiful women
among the Croatians and>Slavonians. 1t
is quite surprising the number Of lovely
faces that are to be seen In a gathering Of
Croatian peasants.
The beauty of these countries inslines
to the passive, that madonna like style of
loneliness iii which figure dreamy, gazelle
like eyes and an expression of languor
that tefis of gentleness personiiied. In
Seryia and Roumelia, too, one finds this
type Of beauty prevalent, and in these
Balkan states, SO recently dominated by
the Turks, the women still possess timid,
retiring disposition tina. causes them to 60

Of Osmauli dominion imparts to the Serv

charm Of mystery. One sees two heavy
braids OF dark hair descending, perhaps,
well nigh to the ground, and a pair Of
large, languishing black eyes lighting up
features that are half concealed behind a
veil Of tulle. Thomas Stevens In Courier

Anarchy in Turkey.

1t isremarked that Mussulman pilgrims
returning to Constantinople from Mecca
bring with them slaves of both sexes,
procured by them at the request Of friends.
The ministry of police, Notwithstanding
the prohibition by the sultan, feigns
ignorance and tolcrates this illicit traffic.
By the aid Of pilgrims the regular slave
traders carry ON their nefarious business
It is believed that this convenient pretext
,of pilgrimage to holy places is largely re-
sorted to for the promotion Of slave deal
ing purposes, with practical impunity-
This Is only another among the number

Getting Hurt on tho Stage.

Audiences do not always give actors
credit for the courage and endurance
necessary to the performance of some
parts, and are apt TO count everything
on the stage as trick or deception.
Actors are not infrequently lamed by high
leaps, bruised by kicks, blows and falls,
bitten by trained dogs, burned in fire
scenes and injured by pistols, swords and
knives. There are incidents, too, that do
not expose them to danger but are try
ing TO the nerves, like that in an English
melodrama that requires the leading lady
10 stand close to the muzzle of gun
when it is fired. In the Arabian Nights"
a lively boxing scene is introduced, in
which Richard Golden has to allow him
self to be severely mauled. After getting
n sound thump in the eye he walks to the
footlights and says grayely, "Some people
think that these things on the stage amt
